Final.

No two ways about it, this is one pretty tough district.

I attended this game .Fun environment.

 

DeSales got off to a HOT start with the lefty center hitting 4 3s from the corner.

 

DeSales has a nice team. Neither team shot FTs very well.

 

The big(and I mean BIG) man for Western just couldn't make any FTs. I'd be curious to see team FT shooting numbers.

 

The transfer Carl Brown has a nice offensive game. Will be a very nice player next year.

Brown is a Senior unless he reclassified when he went to prep. If so, he will be ineligible next year because he started his Freshman year in Kentucky as Class of 2014 so his four years are up this year.

Gotcha. He was listed as 2015 at St Benedict.

Only 73 free throws in this one: Western was 26 of 40, DeSales was 21 of 33. #loubb

DeSales PG was really good.

Senior Nick Phillips scored career-high 27 points, added 7 assists, 5 steals to lead DeSales over Western 69-66 in 22nd semifinal. #loubb

Goal tending call was terrible.

I was hoping to meet Getslow tonight but he went with some UD buddies to watch the UD/SJU game.

 

Sounds like he should have passed on the UD game.

Passing on UD basketball is usually a good idea. Systemic basketball mediocrity is as much a part of life at UD as partying in the Ghetto. BUT THEY KEEP TRICKING ME INTO CARING ABOUT IT.

 

Definitely should have gone to this one instead.

Colts junior Chase Shellman nailed four three's early and scored 14 of the teams first 16. Good to see DeSales get the win that breaks a seven years stretch of losing the first round district game.

That kid can play. He's not a one-trick pony only shooting 3s. Can put it on the floor as well.
